Portable hand-washing station rental
Our hand-wash stations are freestanding two-basin PolyJohn Bravo units with 22 gallons of fresh water, foot pumps, soap and paper towels—no hookup needed. Add them wherever food is served, at large events (about 1 per 10 toilets) on job sites beside every group of toilets, and in the field for farm crews (1 per 20 workers under OSHA 1928.110).

Festival setup from a customer call
A festival organizer planning a two-day event asked for about 12 toilets, 3 hand-washing stations and an additional service visit during the event. Large orders like this go to a specialist who confirms inventory before a custom quote—call early for summer weekends.
Frequently asked questions
How many hand-wash stations do I need?
For events, plan 1 station per 10 toilets, with at least 1 wherever food is served. On job sites, OSHA 29 CFR 1926.51(f) requires adequate washing facilities with soap and individual towels; we recommend 1 station per 20 workers. Farm crews of 11 or more need 1 hand-washing facility per 20 workers under 29 CFR 1928.110.
Does a hand-wash station need water or power?
No. The PolyJohn Bravo carries 22 gallons of fresh water and uses foot pumps. It’s refilled and its gray water emptied at each service.
Can I get a sink inside the toilet instead?
Yes—choose the standard toilet with internal sink or the deluxe flushable unit. For crowds, a freestanding station is faster because two people can wash at once outside the cabin.
